There’s just something special about summer. The sun is shining brighter, the weather is getting warmer, everyone just seems happier and friendlier, and there are pool parties galore. There’s nothing in the world that can beat a pool party with some great friends, great drinks, and great music – and we’re here to provide you with the perfect soundtrack to your summer. Much like ice cold Coronas with lime, The Rooftop Boys were made for summer. The NYC-based duo of Bender and Hyberbits are experts at sun-soaked melodies and laidback vibes, and they certainly shine through in the duo’s latest remix of The Griswold’s “If You Wanna Stay.” The indie pop croons of the lead vocalist perfectly complement the summer-ready melodies and groovy bass lines of The Rooftop Boys, and if you take one listen, you’ll know that this track was made for the summer.

This coming Monday, Black Butter will be making their first official foray in the birthplace of techno, Detroit, with its party on Monday, May 25th at Populux, where Gorgon City, Kidnap Kid, MK b2b Lee Foss, Dantiez Saunderson, Loud Luxury, and Admn will all be gracing the decks. For a UK label, the significance of this is very special as it is a time to prove themselves in a place where dance music roots run deep, and fans are well educated in underground spheres and beyond. Rather than Black Butter’s Detroit showcase being thought of as a judgement day of sorts, it’s more of a display of artistry that can be enjoyed by the masses. In celebration of the party, we’ve put together a showcase to highlight the top talent that will be guiding the Populux crowd to underground dance music enlightenment. Check it out below and grab tickets to the party here.
